Beschreibung
'One of the most important Scottish writers of the twentieth century' Times Literary Supplement
Whisky and Scotland is a witty, erudite and lyrical toast to uisge beatha, the Celt's 'water of life'. Taking readers on a journey through the Highlands of Scotland, it describes the traditional techniques whereby barley grains become an amber spirit.
Written by one of Scotland's most acclaimed early twentieth-century novelists, Whisky and Scotland remains timely and relevant, encompassing nationalism, culture and what it means to be Scottish in its examination of the whisky tradition.
A classic since its original publication in 1935, this beautiful new gift edition of Whisky and Scotland will enlighten and entertain all who share the author's delight in a brew that recalls 'the world of hills and glens, of raging elements, of shelter, of divine ease'.
